Really cool video from the Memphis CVB about Memphis BBQ produced by Craig Brewer.
There are over a 100 barbecue joints with their own secret sauce, rub and wood smoke secret recipes that will make you drool. You know you're in the right place when you can smell that smokey char in the streets.

It was awesome getting to see Zach Randolph play in Dallas tonight. So many great memories with him as a Memphis Grizzy and it was just as much fun seeing him play tonight. Even if it was in a different jersey.
I'll never forget being in FedEx Forum in 2011 when Zach scored 31 points and the Doris Burke interview that followed. That night changed Memphis sports forever. Thank you for everything ZBo.

I love taking photos and I've always wanted a place to post my photos online, but I've always struggled to find an appropriate place to put them. Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram are of course the obvious choices, but that never really felt like a great way to archive photos I was proud enough to post. Plus once they pass through a timeline they might as well be gone forever. I always thought my blog would be the best place to post, but the mental overhead of "drafting a blog post" just to post a photo always seemed to prevent me from using it that way.
And thats what makes Micro.blog so appealing to me. Micro.blog is a service created by Manton Reece that lets you host your posts on your own blog (either self-hosted or hosted by … [Read more]

DJI announced their new drone, the Mavic Air this morning and it looks great. Small and compact like the Spark but shoots 4K like the Mavic Pro.
I've had my first drone, the DJI Spark, for about a month and I've been having a great time learning to fly it and figuring out how to get cool shots. I don't think I'll be ready to step up to something like the Mavic Air anytime soon but I'm definitely more interested in drone news now that I've had a chance to fly one myself!
DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, today introduced Mavic Air, an ultra-portable, foldable camera drone that delivers higher performance, more intelligent features and greater creative possibilities than any other consumer drone. … [Read more]

I'm excited the HomePod is finally shipping, but it must sting for Apple to ship without AirPlay 2--the feature rumored to delay the HomePod into 2018 in the first place. I'm looking forward to the reviews and am particularly excited to see Siri and HomeKit integration in action.
HomePod delivers stunning audio quality wherever it’s placed — in any room in the house, playing any style of music. Using just your voice, it’s easy and fun to use, and works together with an Apple Music subscription for a breakthrough music experience, providing access to one of the world’s largest cloud music libraries. Siri, now actively used on over half a billion devices, has developed a deep knowledge of music and understands your preferences and tastes. … [Read more]

Tony made Memphis his home and hearing him say it will always be home is really something special. Thanks for everything TA.
I’ll be back in Memphis, on a permanent basis, at some point in time. I can guarantee you that. Whether it’s working for this organization, or working somewhere else in the city, or just being one of those old dudes who hangs around Mem, eating barbecue or whatever, and one day you’ll tap some old dude on the shoulder and it’ll be like, Yo, that’s Tony Allen — man, whether it’s any of those things, or whether it’s something else. I’ll be back in Memphis. No doubt. … [Read more]
